<p>[QUOTE="springfld.arsenal, post: 271438, member: 54"]If you rotate the shiny flywheel by hand, the rod connected to it will move with a reciprocating action. The object the rod enters is the cylinder of a pump, mostly likely to pump air. If I could see a close-up of the pattern of 7 holes, the labels on them might tell more. It could be either a vacuum pump or a compressor. I think a hose was connected to the raised black feature in the middle-foreground of the last picture. A nozzle or tool at the other end of the hose may have been hung on the two small hooks. Might have been an airbrush set, but I can't figure out what the seven holes do unless they maybe somehow control the air pressure. The holes look like electrical receptacles. Maybe a wire plugged into the central hole has its other end plugged into one of the radial holes marked with a number tied to the resulting air pressure from that setting.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
